The first set was all Lions from the get-go as they won 17 of the first 21 points. The Gators would get within eight thanks to an 8-3 run late, but it wouldn't be enough to overcome the early deficit.

The second set was more of the same as Finlandia got out to a 17-5 lead sparked by a 5-0 run to open the set. Pine Manor managed to shave the lead down to eight again, but still fell 25-14.

Refusing to go quietly, the Gators played their best set of the match in set number three. After falling behind 10-6, Pine Manor won six of the next eight points to draw even at 12. PMC would then take advantage of three attack errors by Heather Hoogewind (Grand Rapids, Mich.) to take a 16-14 lead.

However, they were unable to extend the gap as the Lions went on an 8-1 run to go up 22-17 and eventually win the final set 25-21.

Finlandia will play in the GSAC Semifinal against No. 2 seed Agnes Scott on Saturday at 3 p.m. The winner of that match will play in the GSAC Championship match at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
